265's or 285's????

If you are happy with the 265's that would be a good way to go as well. I have had two sets of the Cooper A/T's. Very happy with them as well. One set went 55k, the other 60k. Nice riding, quiet tires. They did bang a little on road cracks and expansion joints...but I was also running 10 ply Load Range E tires.
I dont think you could go wrong with any Cooper tire. Excellent quality and looks for a good price. What they charge for BFG's and the Dueler Revo's is ridiculous.

I have 265/70/17 and like the size and ride...they are R/TS and poor in the rain...I don't like what I hear about them but I think the tire size is right for my Lariat...I would like to know if the Cooper A/T you showed in that picture are for sale in Canada ?? I need a quiet tire good in rain or snow...I don't off road...Thanks for all the info...Looking at getting something in the late fall...

I just paid 940.17 to have LT285-70r-17 BFG AllTerrain TA Ko put on my SuperCab 4x4. Went from the stock LT235-75R-17. They give the truck a firm ride with just a little more road noise but nothing too loud. The truck looks great and I think drives and feels like a truck. Well worth the money. These went on without a lift just fine.

Hope this is good enough to give you an idea.
Try this. I am new to the site so not sure if this will work.

Here's another 285 picture for you. I love the ride and the durability. Truck has been on many a hunting trip already mud, snow and gravel.

Just south of Lexington, Ky (Central Ky), They are barely more noticeble than the LT235-75-R17's (Han****'s) that I removed, Just put them on Fri. 5-21 and I have not filled up since then. I have been avg about 17 mpg with the 4.6 ltr. Going on a ATV trip sunday so maybe I will get a better idea if the mpg's have changed since I have not filled up the tank since the new BFG's ( only drive 16 miles a day to and from work ), only bought 4 but thinking hard about the 5th.
By the way I have visited Canada (Banff and Jasper National Parks to be exact) now that's beautiful country.
Thanks
Jeff

I don't know if you'll fit 285/70R17 on a 2wd F-150. As good as they look on 4wd's in this thread, they'll look stuffed on a 2wd, even if they do fit. Save your cash (or plastic) and get 265/70R17. Going from the highway tire to an all-terrain will make the biggest difference in how it looks. Going to 265/70 is about 1.5" larger diameter than stock.
